Lucy Ann from the Humane Society of Pinellas ‘Lucky 13′

I sure would love to be yours!

Hello, my name is Lucy Ann (I’m the sleepy kitty on the left.)  I am a gorgeous black kitten.  I am not always asleep but I really adored my former cage mate Dorothy you see here with me, but she has already been adopted!  Though I may seem pretty relaxed here, my life hasn’t been the easiest.  When I was just a little bitty kitten, I was exposed to ringworm and had to be put into the medical department at the Humane Society of Pinellas.  Due to there being many kittens in my community cage, we were all isolated.  During this time some of us also got coccidia.  So we were kept down in the medical department until all of us were well.  It wasn’t until we were nearly 5 months old that we finally were able to come ‘up the hill’ for adoption.  At this point, a litter of my cage mates came down with FIP.  FIP is Feline Infectious Peritonitis.  And you can read a bit more here: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/fip.html as to what FIP is.  Now all of us here in our cage, Lucky #13, are healthy and don’t show any signs of getting sick.  But there is always the possibility that it could happen.  With any cat or kitten, we can be carriers of FIP and live long healthy lives as the disease can lie dormant.  Or we can begin to show signs of FIP and have to be put to rest.  So as you can see, my life has been tough.   The majority of the people that come to the shelter want teeny tiny little kittens and not ‘big’ kittens like me.  But I have so much love to give, and just want a family that understands my circumstances and is willing to give me a chance.  I love to play and I love to cuddle with some of my other cage mates.  I am a shy girl, and I will take some time to come out of my shell.  But when I do I am fun loving and affectionate.  If you’re willing to find out just how worth the wait I am, then I’m your girl.  Please come and meet me today, because I am ready to be yours!
